Upholding the "3I" Principle to Deepen the Digitization of Education
The digitization of education is a historical process,which will undergo the stages of conversion,transformation,and wisdom. From the perspective of development,with the concepts of connection,content,and cooperation (3C),digitization of education gathered platform facilitates connection and organizational connectivity,enhanced resource development and quality supervision,and empowered cross-border collaboration and transnation-al cooperation,thereby facilitating China's overall leap from the conversion stage to the transformation stage. The new stage is faced with the new strategic opportunities and challenges. Hence,there is an acute need for new development philosophy to steer the new stage. The principles of integrated,intelligent,and international (3I) have emerged in response. Regarding the relationship between"3I"and"3C",despite the disparities in their development goals and construction tasks,they are inherently coherent. The"3I"constitutes an upgrade,expan-sion,and deepening of"3C". Guided by"3I",China is taking actions by developing and aggregating platform re-sources and data on a larger scale,integrating intelligent technology more deeply into education system,and con-ducting international exchanges in digitization of education at a higher level. The aim is to achieve enhanced ser-vices,higher-quality applications,and more effective cooperation,promoting the expansion and quality improve-ment of digital education. Looking ahead,it is imperative to grasp the fundamental trend of the explosive growth of digital technology,adhere to the main thread of digitization of education leading and supporting the construc-tion of a strong country in education,and persist in deepening the national digitization of education strategic ac-tion under the guidance of"3I",in order to continuously propel China from the transformation stage towards the wisdom stage.
